Established ministry following B.S. in Christian Leadership, laying foundation for future initiatives. I also prioritized caregiving for my grandma, but my experience so far includes: Designed and developed websites using WIX and development through WIX, preparing my own messages for podcast usage, editing those podcast episodes that I have recorded, and utilizing funding websites for donations.

I personally cared for my grandmother with dementia since 2018. I only started being her paid caregiver in 2025. Managed hygiene and feeding tasks while monitoring vital signs regularly. As her dementia progressed, her hygiene tasks included dressing her and cleaning her while she was bed-bound. While I took care of her at home, there were bouts of time where she would need to be hospitalized or stay in a facility where I would work with the staff in monitoring her health trends and being sure we worked as a team ensuring her needs were met. I am no stranger to the healthcare setting and learned a lot just observing and paying attention to my grandma's health in great detail.

Master of Divinity: Leadership coursework included classes that enabled me to be able to hold a pastoral and administrative position within a Christian religious organization such as a church or school. I learned about how to manage people, counsel individuals enduring difficult times or needing life counsel, as well how to prepare sermons and biblical teachings.
